Northern Powerhouse powers on

News

‘Back by popular demand’ is the old catchphrase that is relevant for a new show – Manufacturing and Engineering North East. The debut event held in Newcastle in July 2015, exceeded expectations- more visitors came than was expected, drawn by a high quality conference and workshop programme alongside many of the regions suppliers in the exhibition. And this was despite some typically North Eastern summer weather – a deluge that soaked Newcastle but didn’t dampen enthusiasm. In fact such was the response that the show won three industry awards at the back end of 2015.

Manufacturing & Engineering North East is returning to Newcastle again in 2016 to support the industrial innovation of the region.This vibrant exhibition, workshops and conference will open its doors for two days on July 6-7th at the Radio Metro Arena, Newcastle.

The inaugural Manufacturing & Engineering North East attracted more than 1300 design engineering and manufacturing professionals to and from the region.The 2016 event will build on that award-winning success and once again bring the best of British industry to the Northern Powerhouse, whilst showcasing the best the region has to offer as well.

Companies looking to grow their business in the North East are encouraged to participate. Schaeffler UK Ltd exhibited at the inaugural event and commented, “It was great to be involved with an event targeted at engineers in the North East.We had a successful show, with good attendance at our workshops and quality leads as a result.”

Visitors to the inaugural event were equally enthusiastic, with a production engineer from Progress Rail Services UK saying, “Local event but world renowned named suppliers, the latest technology on display for manufacturers and very informative.”

Manufacturing & Engineering North East brings together first class speakers and innovative engineering and manufacturing companies from across the UK in one location. 80% of the exhibition space has already been filled, the practical workshops are booking fast and the exciting speaker line-up will be unveiled shortly. The show gives visitors and exhibitors a great opportunity to source new suppliers, test equipment, acquire expert knowledge and forge new supply chain relationships.

Manufacturing & Engineering North East is organised by Findlay Media, in turn part of the Mark Allen Group, which is the publishing group behind Eureka. Findlay Media also publish Machinery and Works Management magazines which are involved in the MENE organising team.Leading trade bodies and institutions, including the North East LEP, Gateshead & Newcastle Inward Investment, Advanced Manufacturing Forum and the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED) support the event.
